Apply this paste all over your face and wash it off with lukewarm water after 15 minutes. This pack will reduce your pimples, their scars, and brighten up your complexion. Nutmeg has anti-inflammatory properties so it tops the list of wonderful, multi-benefit kitchen ingredients.

2. Oatmeal and Yogurt Scrub: Both of these make excellent food for those who are dieting and a mixture of these two act as a great scrub for those who feel their complexion has darkened a lot in summers. Yogurt has lactic acid and oatmeal is the most gentle scrub ever. This face scrub gets extra points for eliminating blackheads.

3. Yoghurt and Rice Flour Hydrating Face Mask: This hydrating mask can be used by everyone as it helps in keeping your skin moist, supple and hydrating. Take 2-3 spoons of rice flour in a bowl. Add just a bit of yogurt along with 2 tbsp of honey. Mix all ingredients well and apply this paste on your face and neck in circular motions. Rinse off with cold water after 20 minutes. This mask is good for all skin types as it can make your skin hydrated, supple and smooth. Due to the presence of honey in the mask, it helps to maintain the pH level of your skin.

Just scrub it off your arms and feet when the pack is semi-dry to get rid of dead skin. Use lukewarm water to remove the pack from face. Lemon has natural bleaching properties and turmeric is anti-bacterial. Gram flour serves as the best base for any homemade face pack. This pack will help oily skinned beauties too as it can control sebum too.

5. Make your own Rice Water Toner: Rice water is very rich in beauty minerals and vitamins which do wonders for your skin as well as hair.

It promotes cell growth, slows down the aging process, and stimulates blood flow. It’s a blessing for those who want to tighten their pores and bring a glow to the face. This water has moisturizing, antioxidant and UV-absorbing properties. With an ability to bind with the naturally occurring copper in the skin, this rice water/toner also prevents the formation of hyper-pigmentation and age spots.
